Danko Jones' new song “Gonna Be A Fight Tonight”, from the upcoming album Fire Music, was the Official Theme Song for WWE’s Royal Rumble Pay-Per-View Event, which took place on January 25th at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA.

One of WWE’s pinnacle annual events, this year it is wasbuzzing in anticipation of its main event "Triple Threat Match” featuring WWE Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar versus John Cena versus Seth Rollins. The song was used promotionally across all WWE TV and Online programming platforms promoting the “Royal Rumble” including RAW, SmackDown, NXT, WWE Superstars and Main Event.

Produced by JUNO Award winning Eric Ratz (Billy Talent, Monster Truck, Metric) the band’s 7th studio album features 11 fresh tracks and will be released via New Damage Records on February 10th.

According to a press release, Fire Music is an album that burns at both ends, showcasing Danko Jones at their most energetic and eclectic. Look forward to some of the most incendiary, fierce, and downright pissed-off songs Danko Jones has ever committed to tape. Imagine a greatest-hits career retrospective made up of all-new material, delivering blasts from the past but blazing trails into the future. “I got a date with dynamite,” Danko sang back in 1996 by way of introduction, “if you got the guts, well, light my match.” On Fire Music, that offer still stands.
